We held a mock trial last Friday for Mae Tuck, a character in Tuck Everlasting. It was fun to put on costumes and have a trial, but the issues we talked about were serious and the debate was lively! We wound up with a hung jury: 3 insisting on Mae’s innocence, 3 convinced of her guilt, and 9 convinced she was guilty of a lesser crime than the capital offense she was charged with.

What a class of performers!
